Was 9-11 a government conspiracy?

A couple of days ago I watched a documentary on the theory that the terrorist attacks were actively caused by the US government and subsequently covered up as an attack by Al-Qaida. It was about an hour long and was actually really well done compared with the other stuff I've watched about this conspiracy theory. The video can be found here . A lot (if not most) of what this documentary presents as "evidence" is circumstantial at best and a lot of it could be explained without a conspiracy.

Nonetheless, I do think that this documentary brings up some good questions and inconsistencies in what the government claims to have happened on 9/11. Now I am definitely not saying that I believe the government attacked and killed its own citizens, but I do find this documentary incredibly interesting.

Anyone else seen it? What are everyone's thoughts on this theory and such?

The government is convering something up, but it's not that they planned 9/11, I think it's just negligence and incompetence.

like all good conspiracy theories, the answer probably lies somewhere in the middle.

Whenever I read or see some conspiracy theories, I always do a bit of thinking, then ask myself "How many people would it take to pull it off?" and "How could so many people be convinced to never, ever tell the secret?"

Most any of the conspiracy theories that I've even known can be debunked quickly by analyzing just those two simple questions. The second one, keeping the secret, is the one that's most often the determining factor ...how many "top secret" people are now writing books and going on speaking tours to tell the whole fuckin' world their "secrets"?

indeed, baron.

 

The conspirators do not have to keep the conspiracy secret. They just have to keep anybody who would talk about the conspiracy marginalized. This is the lesson that I get from the Kennedy assassination.

The 9-11 commision ignored the issues the conspiracy theorists wanted resolved. Why?

 

Perhaps they were having a group laugh at how ridiculous the conspiracy theorists sounded?

 

The attacks themselves were not a government conspiracy, but some of the specific details about the attacks are. For example, the government claims that Flight 93 was brought down by a scuffle between the terrorists and the passengers, but most believe the plane was shot down. There is evidence pointing to it, and we can also point to the "slip of the tounge" Rumsfeld had about the attacks.

Also, some people think it was a missle that hit the Pentagon, not a jet. However, I believe that the 747 did hit the Pentagon, but it followed the missle. I think the airforce tried to shoot it down before it hit the Pentagon but failed, and instead the missle hit the Pentagon and than the plane hit right after.

 

Is your real name Rip Van Winkle? Where you been the past 5 years? We all talked about it, realized it was true, shook our heads about it and are watching for the repeat to justify an attack on Iran.

 

Well-publicised yes, but well documented? How is it that the WTC attacks were caught on numerous cameras but the Pentagon attack was not?

Dumbsfeld's slip can be found right here: http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/12/27/rumsfeld.flt93/index.html

The evidence is that the Pennsylvania state police said debris from the crash has shown up about 8 miles away in a residential area where local media quoted some residents as seeing flaming debris from the sky: http://post-gazette.com/headlines/20010913somersetp3.asp

So, wreckage found miles away. If the plane hit straight into the ground as reported by the government, than the wreckage would be confined to a small area. If the plane is flying straight and level at high speed when it first touches the ground, then the wreckage will distribute itself into kind of like a fan shape over quite a large area. If the plane starts to break up in the air, particularly at significant height, then it will start to distribute pieces that will travel with the wind and be spread over sometimes many hundreds of square miles.

I agree.

No concrete evidence, although, does this look like a Boeing 747 jet to you? http://0911.site.voila.fr/index3.htm

Just my theory of events from piecing various evidence together. The official story that Flight 93 was brought down by a scuffle with the passengers is a little hard to believe given the evidence and the Dumbsfeld slip. And the official story that the jet hit the Pentagon sounds good, but that security footage tells a different story and it would explain the damage.

 

ROFL and to think last night Quark was castigating me for spreading Anti-American conspiracicies ! Ill make a note of this one .

 

For detailed proposals for the posibility of a govt backed and even caused and orcastrated 9-11.. see this website...

There is a difference between saying the government orchastrated the attacks and saying the government covered up certain aspects of it. Terrorists brought down the towers, and terrorists hit the Pentagon. The little details in between is what I'm talking about.

See, Brian, you can have theories and ideas without being a looney, however sadly for you, you have crossed that "looney" line miles ago.

Every politician or official knows something like that would never stay a secret.

As far as the plane in Pa. wasnt their a phone call from a passenger stating they were about to take over the plane or something like that.

Too many other things to show it happened pretty much as we know it anything otherwise is pure fantasy.

 

i just feel you are being VERY naive if you DON'T understand how these power elites work......te very fact some of you are not sure it was an inside job bemuses me, considering the absurd offical stories etc

also, did that docu mention anything about occult symbolism to do with 9/11??
if ANYthing was to really put the bloody cherry on the bloody cake fo me it was finding out about occult symbolism all over '9/11'---explain THAT!

 

But nothing? How can absolutely no one catch the Pentagon attack? Surely the Pentagon is a national landmark? Surely there would be people with cameras? I think there were cameras, and people did catch the attacks on tape. But they were confiscated. And the only footage allowed for release is a crappy security camera with frames missing. That's not suspicious to you in the slightest?

Are you surprised? I said it was a slip of the tounge, I didn't tout it as irrefutable evidence for my theory. Although I must ask, how do you jump from the term "crash" to "shot" by pure accident if it had no truth behind it? Why would the term "shot" pop into his head if that wasn't what he was thinking about? Suspicious, no?

I explained that in my post. If the plane was brought down by a scuffle, than there are two scenarios that would happen. The plane would crash straight into the ground (although if that happened than it would be quite difficult to fight someone since you would be weightless) and the debris would be spread out in a reletively small area. The second scenario is if it crashed parallel to the ground which means means it would have been traveling quite fast, than the debris would be spread out in a fan shape which means there would be certain areas where the wreckage would spread.

However, what happened is debris was found scattered miles apart, with eye-witnesses claiming they saw burning debris falling from the sky. How do you explain that? Not even a tad bit suspicious?

I can expect a bigger object and a larger explosion? Those planes are quite large I'll have you know.

Understood. I never claimed to have concrete evidence, however the evidence I have could certainly be considered suspicious at the very least.

 

As a private citizen, that is all the evidence I can muster. I have answers to your questions, but you will say I am not qualified, which is true! So, I'll just leave it at that. I will say this, you called the post-gazette.com website a conspiracy website. It's not, it's a regular news outlet. Check their other news articles, you won't see any conspiracy theories, just news. That's where I got the "eye-witness and scattered debris" article.
